Takes all of 5 minutes to pop the center speaker cover and disconnect it. Try it and see what happens.

JIm is right, disconnecting the speaker is easy, having done it myself. And then let us know. Not trying to jerk you around, but real question: What are you trying to accomplish by permanently disconnecting the speaker? What potential benefit?

That's reasonable. I have a ham radio VHF/UHF radio that lives under the front passenger seat. The external speaker is mounted to the back of the center console. Easy. Especially since I seldom have passengers in the back. Just a thought.

I used a speaker just like this and put it in the driver's side pocket of the center console (the one near your right leg). This is the second truck I did this on.
